The FIA officials have reported that Nadir Khan, the arrested accused, was involved in producing fake identity cards and other official documents in exchange for large sums of money.
The officials also found a significant number of fake documents, fake stamp paper, and seals in the possession of the arrested individual.
Last month, the National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) cancelled over 18,000 illegal CNICs in an effort to address the illegal issuance of identity cards and cybersecurity concerns at centers.
In a statement, the authority acknowledged various external and internal factors contributing to the issuance of fake CNICs and took proactive measures to identify and cancel the illegal cards.
NADRA stated that it is diligently working to improve coordination with other stakeholders and implement stricter internal scrutiny to rectify the situation.
